Chapter 376 Catastrophe

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Qin Jun sat on the clouds with a gloomy face, feeling as if a hundred thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

Lost...

The speed of the meteor was too fast, disappearing on the horizon at daybreak, leaving Qin Jun and Nezha at a loss, making Nezha feel embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to continue?" Nezha asked.

"Of course, we will continue in the direction it disappeared," Qin Jun said in a deep voice. The system's assigned mission time was five days, indicating that five days were equivalent to Chang'e's protection period.

Although Nezha was puzzled about what the meteor was, he still obeyed Qin Jun and continued to control the clouds to fly forward.

At this moment, they had flown out of the Flat Earth.

The Flat Earth was vast, but for the powerful immortals of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, it was not considered large.

Time passed quickly.

At the same time, the meteor that had crossed day and night crashed into a grassland.

Boom!

The earth shook violently, and the meteor directly stirred up hundreds of feet of dust and grass, causing cracks to spread, causing the grassland within a kilometer to collapse into a huge pit, showing the tremendous impact force.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Cultivators flew from all directions, their faces filled with curiosity and nervousness.

Whenever a celestial stone fell from the sky, it would either cause a large-scale disaster directly or the material it contained would attract strong cultivators to fight for it. Celestial stones were generally rare treasures for refining, and they were hard to come by.

After the dust settled, a crystal stone, five meters high and resembling white ice, appeared in the pit, embedded in the mud, reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight.

The cultivators gathered above the pit looked at each other, none daring to act rashly to avoid any potential danger within the crystal stone.

"What is this thing?"

"Huh? My divine sense can't penetrate it!"

"Could it be an evil object?"

"Who will go up and take a look?"

"I'll go. I'll use my puppet to probe it!"

The cultivators discussed, and soon a middle-aged cultivator took out a wooden puppet and threw it down towards the crystal stone.

The puppet was very ordinary, less than twenty centimeters tall, like a child's toy.

As soon as the puppet landed, it seemed to come to life and staggered towards the crystal stone, causing the cultivators to become extremely nervous.

Before long, the puppet reached the crystal stone, jumping around without encountering any mishaps.

The entire grassland fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind blowing.

A tense and eerie atmosphere began to spread.

Soon, some cultivators made their move, flying towards the crystal stone like lightning. Once one moved, all the other cultivators also acted.

If such a large celestial stone were sold, it would definitely fetch a huge amount of spiritual stones. Of course, keeping it for refining would also be a good choice.

A cultivator wielding a sword struck the crystal stone, causing sparks to fly. He felt his hand go numb and goosebumps all over his body, but he did not cause any damage to the crystal stone.

Other cultivators followed suit, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Spells were cast, causing the dust at the bottom of the pit to fly, and some cultivators engaged in close combat, splattering blood all over the ground, creating chaos in an instant.

For the sake of the treasure, the cultivators were driven to madness.

Cultivators who approached the crystal stone were injured, and their blood splattered on the crystal stone. In an instant, the crystal stone burst into a brilliant light, causing everyone to look at it in fear.

Boom!

An invisible force suddenly spread from within the crystal stone, sweeping in all directions, directly causing hundreds of cultivators at the bottom of the pit to be shaken and sent flying, with those below the Void Transformation realm dying on the spot!

The few surviving cultivators below the Void Transformation realm were so frightened that they were covered in cold sweat, all gasping in shock.

"Evil... It's definitely an evil object..."

Someone trembled and shouted, then turned and fled, and the others did not dare to stay any longer.

From then on, rumors about the celestial stone began to spread.

Some said it was an excellent material for refining, while others said it contained terrifying demons. The various rumors made it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

...

Under the vast sky, Qin Jun and Nezha flew aimlessly.

Ahead was a city surrounded by mountains.

"Your Majesty, shall we enter the city to gather information?" Nezha raised an eyebrow and asked.

The fall of the celestial stone would definitely attract widespread attention. It would be better to ask around than to fly around aimlessly.

Three days had passed since Chang'e's descent, and Qin Jun was completely restless.

"Alright!"

Qin Jun gritted his teeth and said, understanding that he couldn't afford to panic at this time.

Soon, Nezha led Qin Jun into the city without anyone noticing, as with his cultivation at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, bringing people into the city was effortless, especially since the most powerful person in the city was only at the peak of the Earthly Immortal realm.

On the bustling streets, various shops were calling out their wares.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Qin Jun found that everyone passing by on the street had some level of cultivation, even the old man selling cakes on the roadside had reached the Qi Refining realm.

It seemed that this city either belonged to a certain dynasty or was under the control of the Five Heroes of the Righteous Path.

The majority of the population in the kingdom were ordinary people.

"Let's go to the Destiny Mechanism Pavilion!"

Qin Jun said, as the Destiny Mechanism Pavilion specialized in trading intelligence, making it the most suitable place to gather information.

After inquiring along the way, they soon arrived at the Destiny Mechanism Pavilion.

Just as they were about to enter, three men with swords walked past them.

"The celestial stone is on the Fire Extinction Plain, we need to hurry."

"Yeah, it's said that all the Five Heroes of the Righteous Path have their eyes on that celestial stone. Can we get a share of the pie?"

"Don't you know that the celestial stone weighs tens of thousands of kilograms?"

The conversation of the three men immediately piqued Qin Jun's curiosity, and he quickly stopped them and asked, "Are you talking about the celestial stone that fell three days ago?"

The leader in the blue robe frowned and said, "Naturally, this matter has caused quite a stir in the righteous path."

If it weren't for his inability to see through Qin Jun's cultivation, coupled with Qin Jun's imposing manner, he wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

"Can you take us along?" Qin Jun asked with a smile.

The man in the blue robe subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then Qin Jun flipped his right hand and a third-grade spirit stone appeared in his hand, causing the man in the blue robe and his two companions to stare in amazement.

"As long as you guide us, each of you will get one!" Qin Jun said without room for refusal, finally understanding why the rich and powerful are so arrogant.

The feeling of splurging money is really damn cool!

"No problem!" the man in the blue robe readily agreed, secretly cursing Qin Jun as a fool.

As for the origin of the fire, Qin Jun could have bought a map at the Destiny Pavilion for a few first-grade spirit stones, but he spent three third-grade spirit stones to have them guide him. There must be something wrong with his head.

At the same time, he began to consider whether to rob Qin Jun.

Although Qin Jun had an extraordinary bearing, from his appearance, he looked too young, probably a young master from some family.

The three of them began to lead the way, walking ahead while secretly planning this matter through voice transmission.

"Are they idiots..."

Qin Jun's mouth twitched speechlessly. The cultivation of the three people was only at the Golden Core stage, and their method of voice transmission was riddled with flaws in the eyes of Qin Jun and Nezha. [End of this chapter]
